I conclude from your letter that the arp tables were incomplete and you fixed them manually, yes? Now, the next thing I would try is tcpdump. For example: On the linux workstation: In one xterm run: tcpdump -i eth0 -n and in another run: ping theotherworkstation
If you have too much garbage with tcpdump, use tcpdump -i eth0 -n | grep -v "Expressions to delete" Here is what I see when I ping between work stations: 192.168.0.2 > 192.168.0.6: icmp: echo request 192.168.0.6 > 192.168.0.2: icmp: echo reply You may see an arp request if the machine has to broadcast to get the hardware address of the other machine. This should give you an idea of what is going on. BTW, how are you trying to ping them, with their ip number or their names? If by name, do you have a DNS or do you have them listed in /etc/hosts?
